That way you could either go with a classic French theme, or even just &#39;Food cooked to the highest standards&#39; as the dictionary puts it.<br />Mille feuille with blue icing, perchance?Yazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08663641688425080063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-56470045388825925382011-01-21T11:35:52.238+11:002011-01-21T11:35:52.238+11:00Hey, good luck, what a fantastic challenge!
